Typical Clients

Carr & Associates serves a wide range of clients, both taxable and non-taxable, U.S. - based and foreign.  (Note that for non-resident aliens all convertible bonds issued after 1986 are exempt from U. S. income tax withholding.) The common feature of these clients is that they want to have at least a portion of their assets invested conservatively to provide generous current income, growth sufficient to stay ahead of inflation and a very low level of risk so that the assets are not in jeopardy.  Typically, a portfolio of convertibles managed by Carr & Associates replaces corporate and/or government bonds or a combination of bonds and equities in the asset allocation process. 

A portfolio of convertibles managed by Carr & Associates is especially appropriate for retirees (or others) who rely on the interest and dividends produced by their investment portfolios.  Minimum account size is just $50,000.  Fees are 0.75% of assets up to $2 million. Advisory fees in greater detail are disclosed in Part II of the firm's ADV which is available upon request.

A few examples of past and present clients are cited below:

A Catholic diocese building fund.
A married couple living on the income generated by the sale of their business.
A family corporation's convertible preferred portfolio supporting two elderly sisters.
A group medical practice profit-sharing plan.
The corpus of a cash settlement to a young man made quadriplegic in an accident.
A manufacturing corporation's excess cash.
A trust set up to care for an aged relative.
An individual's IRA, part of a diversified asset allocation program.
